A highlight of my studies has been attending various networking and careers events during the first year of my Masters.

Studying at the University of Melbourne has been a great experience so far. I’ve developed various skills like critical thinking and problem solving through my assignments, and this year I'm getting industry exposure as I complete my industry project. In an industry project, groups of four as assigned an industry and are asked to make a commercialisation plan for it. I have also made many amazing friends by joining various types of clubs and societies.

A highlight of my studies has been attending various networking and careers events during the first year of my Masters. They gave me opportunities to interact with my potential employers and insight into what they are looking for in an employee. My dream career is to work as a product manager in a pharmaceutical company, as I think working in that field will help me to enhance my skills and broaden my knowledge.
